An individual who didn’t desire to be indentified has revealed that Lance Armstrong plans to admit to taking prohibited preparations during an interview with the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Is this a right decision of the famous cyclist? Opinions differ. Certain individuals believe that if the disgraced American cyclist admits to doping, he will restore his reputation. Others believe that the admission will not be able to change anything. Several other persons believe that if Lance Armstrong does it, he will be probably sentenced to jail.
It is known that Lance Armstrong denied using steroids and other forbidden products. He seemed to succeed till the USADA published a report on him. The USADA’s dossier presented doping evidence. As a result, the cyclist forfeited his 7 Tour de France titles. Furthermore, his sponsors left him. In addition to these negative conditions, Lance Armstrong had to distance himself from the foundation Livestrong in order to prevent negative influence of his problems on it.
Will Lance Armstrong admit to taking forbidden medications? Which will be results?
Several experts affirm that prosecution will take place, if Lance Armstrong admits to doping. The cyclist has pronounced under the oath that he never applied any prohibited substances. So, if he admits to doping, it means that he admits to lying under the oath. As a result, he may go to prison. That’s why certain experts say that Lance Armstrong should continue denying doping.
But there are persons who think that the admission will change nothing. Millions of individuals with cancer that have survived with the help of Livestrong praise Lance Armstrong. The American cyclist is a hero for them. These individuals like him, regardless of whether he has doped or not. If even Lance Armstrong admits to taking banned medications throughout his athletic career, these persons will continue to support him.
But there is also another point of view. If Lance Armstrong presents important information about doping in the US Postal Service Cycling Team, his ban from competitions may be reduced. Thus, Lance Armstrong will probably return to professional cycling.
It is unclear whether Lance Armstrong will really admit and which results will follow.
